Application filed July 23, 1912 Serial No. 711.144.

To (/71 whom it may muccrn.

Be it known that I, Jnrgr C. CHAMBERS, citizen of the United States, residing at Daleville. in the county of Dale and State of Alabama, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Plows, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to plows and has for its object th; provision of a simple and inexpensive construction wherchy'choking of the plow standard 0 h am will he eliectually prevented.

The invention consists in certain novel features which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings and will he hereinafter first fully described and then more particularly pointed out in the claims following the description.

In the druwingsz-i roure I is a side elevation of a plow constructed in accordance with my invention; Fig. 2 is.a horizontal section taken on the line 22 of Fig. 1; Fi 3 is a detail view or" a, portion of the plow beam and standard.

in carrying out my invention, I employ a plow beam 1 which is preferably formed of metal and may be of any desired dimen sions. The rear portion of the beam is carried upwardly, as indicated at 2, and car ried rearwardly to merge into the standard 3 which is formed integral therewith. this construction a high arch at is formed over the plowshare 5 so that an accumulat tion of weeds, trash, or dirt will he accommodated and will not he held to the share by the beam to choke and impede the progress of the plow. Thefront edge or side of the standard is beveled toward its side faces, indicated at 6, so that, as the plow is drawn over the field, the dirt and roots and other matter turned up and thrown against the standard Will be,.jdetlected to either side and will not be permitted to lodge against the standard, as will he readily understood. This beveled for mation is carried around the under portion of the upwardly extended rear end of the beam, as shown at 7, so. as to further prevent accumulation which would tend to choke the plow.- ln the upper rear edge of the plowshare. a large recess or notch R is provided immediately adjacent the standard so that the roots and other material which would tend to collect upon' the mold hoard andagainst the standard will be permitted to opposite pass to the rear of the share and drop behind the same so that the progress of the share through the ground will he uniinpeded. The standard is cut away on its front edge at its lower end to provide a seat 9 and a shoulder 10 against which the share be practically eliminated.

lhe bolts by which the share the standard and by which the several parts oi the share are secured together have their heads countersunk in the members of the share so that they will. present no objections to the upward movement of the dirt turned from the "furrow and consequently the plow will have a light draft.

In its opposite side faces, the plow standard 3 is provided with recesses or seats ll adapted to receive the ends of the handles 12 and the said recesses are deeper at their front ends than at their rear ends so that the .front edges of the handles will lie against the front avai s ot' the said recesses and the outer sides of the handles w ll he flush with the sides of the standard, as shown most clearly. in Fig. 2, thereby prcsenting a smooth uninterrupted surface over which the material turned aside by the standard may pass.

it will be seen from the foregoing description, taken in coniuict-ion. with the ac- (fOll'lPtlllYiilg drawingsthatfll have provided an exceedingly simple, strong, and durable plow by which accumulation of the matter turned up by the plow upon themolchhoard and against the standard will he ellectuaily prevented and said material turned aside so that the plow may he e sily drawn through the ground with a light draft.

What 1 claim is:-

i. In a plow, the combination oi a beam arched at its inner extremity and tern1inating in a downwardly extending standard having suhstantially arcuate recesses fori ed in the sides thereof adjacent their lower extremities, the inner face of said. arched form a cutting edge substantially straight throughout the greater portion 01 the length of the standard and handles securcdsin the recesses ioi'n'icd in the stamlard, the fixed extremities ol said handles being disposed sulis'antially in alineinent with the liieai'n.

arched at its inner extremity and terminatis secured so that rocking of the share will is secured i'o' L. In a plow, the coniliiinalion of beamportion and the standard being beveled. to I ing! in a downwardly extending standard having -substantially arouate recesses formed in the sides thereof, the inner face of said arched. portion and the standard being beveled. to term. a cutting edge, said recesses extending upwardly and opening through the rear edge of the standard and having their side walls rimyerging toward the cutting edge thereof, and handles secured in said recesses.

3. In a plow, the eon'ibination of a beam arched at its inner extremity and teri'ninating in a downwardly extending standard having substantially arcuate recesses formed in the sides thereof, the inner face of said arched portion. and the standard being beveled to form a cutting; edge terminating short of the free extremity of the standard to produce a. seat defining a terminal shoulder, :1 share secured to the seat and hearing against the shoulder, and handles carried by the standard.

4. In a plow, the combination of a beam ard substantially V-shaped in cross-section and having substantially arcuate recesses formed in the sides thereof, the inner face of said arched portion being beveled and forming with the inner face of the standard a continuous cutting edge, said recesses having their side Walls converging toward the utting edge of the standard, and handles secured in said recesses.

In testimony whereof I ailix my signature
